What are the Advantages and Limitations of These Techniques?
Each imaging technique has its own set of advantages and limitations.
- Ultrasound: Advantages include its non-invasive nature, absence of radiation, and real-time imaging capabilities. However, it is operator-dependent and may not provide sufficient detail in some cases. - MRI: Offers excellent soft tissue contrast and is non-invasive, but it is more expensive and less accessible than ultrasound. - CT Scan: Provides detailed images and is useful for complex cases, but involves exposure to ionizing radiation. - HSG: Effective for diagnosing uterine and tubal abnormalities, but can be uncomfortable and carries a small risk of infection.
